Sony Looks to be more compatible

Sony is adopting industry standards for e-books. This is cool, now you can read your Manga over your i-phone or laptop, perhaps.

Sony, in a challenge to Amazon’s Kindle, unveiled plans on Thursday to do away with the proprietary software on its electronic Sony Reader and convert its e-book store to an industry standard format. Sony said the move “allows it to make its e-book store compatible with multiple devices and its Reader devices open to multiple sources for content.”

I think this will be pretty cool once it is in place. I believe that Sony has some Manga title already on their e-books selection.
